2.You disclose in the second paragraph on page 38 that your jet fuel supply agreements
with World Fuel expired July 31, 2025, and your jet fuel supply agreement with ASA
will expire 12-31-25. Please expand your disclosure to describe, and quantify to the
extent possible, any known trends and uncertainties that have had or that are
reasonably likely to have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on revenues or
income from continuing operations as a result of your jet fuel supply arrangements.
Refer to Item 5.D of Form 20-F and SEC Release No. 33-8350.
Aircraft maintenance, page 96
3.You disclose in a risk factor that you recently observed recurring early signs of
deterioration in the High-Pressure Turbine of certain LEAP-1B engines for the Boeing
737 MAX supplied by CFM International, Inc., or CFM, which have resulted in
several unscheduled engine removals. You maintain a PBH engine maintenance
agreement with CFM to provide additional engine support during repairs.
You have conducted 68 inspections, resulting in 21 engine removals and have
received 12 replacement engines from CFM to mitigate the impact on your network as
of August 11, 2025. You expect to perform more than 90 inspections, categorized as
low, medium and high risk in 2025. Given the potentially high removal rate and the
fact that engine repairs typically take over 140 days, this situation poses a significant
risk to your operational and financial stability due to its potential impact on fleet
availability and schedule compliance. If these early signs of deterioration of some of
these engines are not resolved in a timely manner, you could face increased operating
costs, revenue losses, and adverse impact on customer experience. You also disclose
that the the high number of inspections required and potential removals may lead to a
shortage of spare engines, potentially causing an increase in aircraft-on-ground events.
Please revise to describe, and quantify to the extent possible, any known trends and
uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably likely to have a
material unfavorable impact on revenues and net income from continuing operations
as a result of increases in inspections, maintenance expenses, operating expenses and
aircraft-on-ground events. Refer to Item 5.D of Form 20-F and SEC Release No. 33-
8350.
